." msnbc's coverage of the vice presidential kdebate continues with my colleague, rachel maddow, coming up right now. >>> it was the most watched vice presidential debate in history. it was one of the most watched political debates ever. >> hey, can i call you joe? >> tonight in danville, kentucky, it's the rematch. sort of. vice presidential joe biden is back in blue. but in red tonight, it's the young congressman who wants to be known for his budget. >> i'm kind of a numbers guy. >> the poll numbers for romney and ryan soaring after the first presidential debate. democrats openly counting on joe biden tonight to stop that republican momentum. >> osama bin laden is dead and general motors is arrive. >> the 2012 vice presidential debate starts right now. >>> happy debate night, everybody. the best television series of 2011 was the republican primary debates. there were 1 million of them. they played to huge audiences week after week and never disappointed. now it is october 2012 and the most compelling thing on television anywhere in the country is once again the debates. only now there ar

, rachel maddow. >>> political common wisdom say debates don't move the needle. >> in my state, when people lose their jobs, there's a good chance i'll know them by their names. >> they may be compelling, they may be revealing, but supposedly they don't change the state of the race. so much for that. tonight, round two. obama versus romney. after round one shocked the race. >> what are the major differences between the two of you? >> romney got no lift from picking his running mate. romney got the opposite of a lift from his convention. romney got buried after the other side's convention. nothing was working, until that clear win in the first debate. >> i don't have a $5 trillion tax cut. >> now, after the president's muddled first night, saving his best shots until the morning after. >> the fellow on the stage last night, who looked like mitt romney, said he did not know anything about that. >> after his vice president pulled no punches -- >> that's a bunch of malarkey. >> tonight in a way that the common wisdom says it never should be, tonight the race hangs in the balance. msnbc's covera

for being with us. right now, msnbc's coverage of the presidential debate continues with my colleague rachel maddow. >>> after eight years of george w. bush, america made a clear choice. >> bomb iran, bomb, bomb, bomb, any ya. >> in our last election, war was at the center of the debate. >> at the time when the war started, you said it would be quick and easy. you knew where the weapons of mass destruction were. you were wrong. >> four years has gone by. the war in iraq, over. bin laden, dead. the middle east and revolution in chaos. dictators overthrown and a new american election that was never supposed to hinge on foreign policy comes down to a last debate on foreign policy. >> you said in the rose garden the day after the attack it was an act of terror. it was not a spontaneous demonstration? >> the polls are tied. the election is 15 days away. voting is already underway in ne nearly every swing state. and it is because of that shear competitive need that america's longest war still grinding on and our veterans and our diplomacy and our role in the world is thrust back to center stage. m

. rachel maddow is here from msnbc. carly fiorina. david baracrooks from "the washington post." i feel it's going to be dominated by the economy. it can tip the scales. we have seen an argument from the president that is about trust. this is how he lays it out against governor romney. >> there's no more serious issue in a presidential campaign than trust. trust matters. you know, you want to know that the person who is applying to be your president and commander and chief is trustworthy. that he means what he says. that he's not just making stuff up depending on whether it's convenient or not. >> how is he using that argument to advance that cause? you cannot trust what you are going to get to lead to economic recovery? >> i think the president is -- as the race gets narrower and narrower, we focus on smaller and smaller places and voters. it's a very resonant argument. we are talking the economy in the midwest, in ohio. on the integrity issue, the trust issue, romney went to defiance, ohio and told a group of 11,000 people jeep is about to move all of their production overseas. i read th

," rachel smith, joining us from l.a. this morning. hey, rachel. >> hey, guys. nice to see you this morning. the big question is, does kanye west have marriage on his mind? the rap star has a new song called "white dress." and it sounds like it could be played walking down the aisle with girlfriend, kim kardashian. he raps about a white dress with a 30-foot train. and drops the line, that says you're the kind of girl in a probably deserves a new last name. "white dress" is featured on the soundtrack for "the man with the iron fist," in theaters next month. >>> kanye may want to give gwyneth paltrow and cameron diaz, a little help with rapping. this is something they could use a little work. take a listen. ♪ we're coming at you like us ♪ ♪ you drink too much >> wow. that's all we could show on morning tv, folks. the actresses, they get a little bit naughty. >>> and everybody knows luke on "modern family" as the dim-witted goofball of the dunphy family. actor nolan gould is a genius. the 13-year-old graduated from high school this summer and hopes to do online college courses. gould act

[laughter] look at some of these tweets. can we scroll some of the tweets? and you will understand why this summit is called, robo calls, all the rag

. lawrence? >> thank, rachel. you played mitt romney in the debate prep. when you were playing mitt romney, did you say we are going to be out of afghanistan by 2014? >> no. >> why didn't you say that? >> because mitt romney hasn't said it and he's never said it. i mean, my head is dizzy tonight trying to follow mitt romney. >> you were shocked when you heard him say it again. >> i was. because weeks ago mitt romney said, i'm going to listen to the generals. you made a mistake, mr. president, to set a date certain. you never should have announced it and now tonight he agrees. this is a man -- i have to tell you, tonight we saw a commander in chief and a candidate in total confusion who is -- if you're leaders in the world, you're scratching your head tonight saying, how could the american people possibly elect a guy who has changed his position every few months and doesn't know what he's going to do in foreign policy? i thought i was listening to the wikipedia candidate tonight. he would say, oh, there are taliban in pakistan. they have nuclear weapons. but what's the policy, governor? wha

, rachel maddow. >>> four years ago, there was no incumbent in the presidential debates. >> if you want to run against president bush, he should have ran four years ago. >> four years ago, barack obama and john mccain faced off in a first debate that was nearly canceled when the republican suspended his campaign because of the meltdown on wall street. the day of their second debate, the stock market dropped 500 points. >> now the troubles are spreading. the market took another dive today, and there are some big names now involved. >> reporter: the day of the third debate, the stock market dropped over 300 points. >> fear that the country could be entering in one of the most serious recessions in decades, led by wall street's 700-point sell-off. >> now four years later, the president who faced john mccain in those debates and beat him faces his new republican challenger for the first time. >> i'm looking forward to head to head. >> an mirror image of '08, a campaign is chaotic mash. new issues, new controversies, every day. the polls are bad for romney and good for obama in the swing sta

, of course. let's bring in the political panel. david goodfriend and rachel smelkin. thank you both for your time. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i want to get to this poll showing the president still holding on to his lead in ohio, florida and virginia. we know that when you look at national polls, depending on which one, a different picture but it is about the battlegrounds and likely voters here. what do we make of the new polls? >> hurricane sandy introduced a massive unknown in to the final days of the race and that's the first thing. we are not yet seeing that reflikted in the polling. having said that, it looks for the president's team like they're still holding on in ohio. the margins closed there as in other battleground states but that's an all-important state for both campaigns to win this election, mitt romney is almost going to have to win ohio if not he's going to have to run the table everywhere else. this is a good piece of news for the president out of ohio today. virginia and florida just too close to call. well inside that margin of error. could go either way. but for all

and rachel and the ending that almost wasn't. eight years after "friends" a new secret about the smash hit show is finally revealed. it is all coming up in "the skinny." >> remember that finale well. 50 million people tuned into that one. so, tell you what is going on. new information coming out. >>> we begin with the global economy and stocks falling badly overseas after a bleak earnings reports back here at home. >> japan's nikkei closed the earlier session down by 30 points. traders around the globe concerned now about losses by big name companies in the u.s. here is abc's sharyn alfonsi. >> reporter: that closing bell sounded like the end of a prize fight, but there was no winner. stocks tumbled across the board after a series of low earnings reports from some big household names. first, chemical maker dupont reported 98% drop in profit. declining sales across the world and announced it will cut 1,500 jobs. xerox reported earnings down too, 12%. consumer product giant -- 3-m scaled down future earnings projections sending the stock south. add to that unrest in spain, european debt conc

on "the rachel maddow show," congressman barney frank weighed in on the debate. he explained scott brown's stance and what he believes are inconsistencies in his campaign. >> here's a man who claims he's supportive of a woman's right to choose, who says he believes in legal equality for lgbt people, who believes women should get equal pay for equal work. and the first word out of his mouth on the supreme court justice he prefers is a ranting fervent opponent of all those causes. the other thing that struck me was that scott brown at least a half a dozen times was asked, i'll have an open mind on this. well, i think he is kind of crossing the line from independence into incoherence, and it's because he understands that if he were to say what he really plans to vote, it would be unattractive to the voters. >> lean forward with "the rachel maddow show" weeknights at 9:00 eastern on msnbc, the place for politics. >>> joyriding may land one philadelphia child in jail. police are preparing to charge the 10-year-old with auto theft. surveillance video there shows the young driver crashing the s

on the "rachel maddow show," robert gibbs says the tax cut just doesn't add up. >> there's a $4.8 trillion tax cut that no study that actually looks at the real numbers can come up with a way of paying for it. into that, $2 trillion for pentagon spending and that's how they want to start the deficit reduction conversation. this is all a big ruse for how do we cut taxes for the very upper end and hope that it trickles down for the middle class. it won't work under mitt romney. >> the rachel show airs weeknights at 9:00 eastern. tonight she'll head up our special coverage of the debate beginning at 8:00 eastern right here on msnbc. the place for politics. >>> now here's your "first look" at this morning's dish of scrambled politics. oklahoma senator tom coburn issued his annual report on billions of dollars in wasteful government spending ranging from $300,000 marketing caviar to $90 million in lost taxes because the nfl is considered a nonprofit organization. mitt romney's campaign raised $170 million in donations in september, a little less than president obama's $181 million and romney got mo

for the revival. nhk world, ogatu, myanmar prefecture. >> rachel ferguson is here with the latest on hurricane sandy. rachel, how is the storm shaping up? >>> we're going to get you the most recent figures on this hurricane. it is a very intense system, and you can see here if i pull back to the front to see just how strong these winds are that we're going to be dealing with not just today but for the next several days. so this is hurricane sandy, currently a category 1 system. we have tropical storm warnings turning to hurricane warnings along the coast here, and then hurricane-force wind warnings in the blue to green there. not sure what to call that. now, the storm is going to be making landfall in new jersey in the evening hours of monday, and then it looks like it's just going to be lingering in the northeast for the next several days. the best part of the week we're going to see this storm or the remnants of this storm just move in towards the northeast and then curve around in towards new england. so it is going to be heavy rain over a prolonged period of time, and these strong winds, a

. one you've probably heard. >> hello this is rachel from card holder services. >> reporter: that was two years ago. how is rachel still calling? >> it's almost certainly a different attorney. >> reporter: he is staff attorney and is responsible for tracking down violators. it's a tough job because technology is making it easy to fake the number you see on caller i.d. it's a time consuming process. >> they've freed up the market, so the telephone company that had it originally probably sold it to another company. so there may be three or four down the line before you find the person. >> reporter: robocall complaints are up, so the federal trade commission is holding a brainstorming meeting on thursday. >> we hope the summit will result in ways for us to find solutions and got more of the robocallers. >> reporter: she said when she blocks the number, she changes one digit and gets through the next time i'm desperate now. >> so what should you do if a robocaller calls you? don't follow the prompts to get off the list. it tells the computer your phone number is legitimate. repo

it comes to privacy in the home particularly. wendy voip and cloud-based robocalls began and rachel was working her magic in the room -- in the hoosier state, despite these complaints, and is a geometric growth on the complaints, some of them, as a shock. i want to express the righteous indignation that i have received in letters every day. a lot of it comes from the relative peace and quiet we have received in the past. now they are not used to having these calls and they are wondering why you cannot keep people from calling. i think a lot of states did not have the same experience in indiana. they always had a little bit of the robocalling they got used to it. it comes as quite a shock in indiana. woodcut 17,000 complaints i can share. they fully express the resignation of my state. -- the righteous indignation of my state. the breakdown of the complaint really come -- the largest bulk is clearly the robocalls. we do have complaints about text messaging which is only 17%. 33% is everything from collection calls to all the rest. truly, is the robocalls that incite the most passiona

that's "the ed show." the "the rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, ed. i'm jealous of your plans right now, but i want a full report tomorrow. >> i'll have the full report on colorado. >> excellent. thank you. i'll see you tomorrow. thanks to you at home for staying with us for the next hour. there's breaking political news this hour. as previously uncirculated or not widely circulated tape of president obama on the one side and vice presidential nominee paul ryan on the other side have both been posted online tonight in typical, late in the campaign, october surprise, boy do we have a bomb shell fashion. first on the right at the tucker carlson website, the right wing sirens blaring excitement tonight is for the same kind of tape they have tried to make bomb shells out of the last three times we have gone through this in the election cycle. over and over and over again, the right has tried to make huge news not out of something president obama has done as president but out after a big unveiling, a big, giant, coordinated round of attention

on this story. thanks so much. that's "the ed show." i'm ed schultz.

. >>> "the rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening my friend. thank you for staying with us this hour. there was this moment in 2008 on election night that year. i know you were watching our coverage here on msnbc, but on election night in 2008 over on the fox news channel, carl rove in the middle of fox's election night coverage was on tv gaming out john mccain's chances of pulling out a win that night. he said during their election coverage, quote, if senator mccain loses ohio he goes from 286 electoral votes, which the republicans carried in '04, down to 266 and that puts him below the 270 needed to win the white house. so he would not only need to sweep the rest of these states which were won by the republicans in '04, he would also need to pick up something as well. at that exact moment as carl was saying on fox news as part of their coverage that john mccain basically had to win ohio or else, while carl rove was saying that live on fox, fox got word that the state of ohio had not, in fact, been won by john mccain. it was won by barack obama. mr. rov

as if he hasn't changed his mind. rachel made this point last night. you can change your mind on an issue and say look, i was wrong. they had to have their come to jesus moment, i was wrong, now i'm right, i've changed my mind. but romney just pretends he never had the position before. and that is very unnerving. >> and we're not talking about economic issues or positions on health care or the like. we're talking about war. >> there was a giant romney behind you on the big board for a while because he's giving a live speech by the way. as soon as he says something interesting we'll let him interrupt you. the giant romney is over your shoulder. don't let that affect you in any way. >> he won't. if it was a giant rush it would be different. to your point chris and to rachel's point before. we talk about who is the most despicable person in politics. and with regards to mitt romney, there's been no sort of seeming deliberation over any of these issues. it is as the president said, a white washing of history and a romnesia and that is incredibly disconcerting as long as you remember that he s
